Starter for 10 Page #8

Synopsis: In 1985, against the backdrop of Thatcherism, Brian Jackson enrolls in the University of Bristol, a scholarship boy from seaside Essex with a love of knowledge for its own sake and a childhood spent watching "University Challenge," a college quiz show. At Bristol he tries out for the Challenge team and falls under the spell of Alice, a lovely blond with an extensive sexual past. He's smitten, and he carelessly manages to hurt the feelings of Rebecca Epstein, a friend whose politics and wit he admires. The Challenge finale is coming up; maybe Brian can redeem himself and still avoid being a prat.

I just... I wanted to.

I just needed time

to make sense of everything.

I see. So does everything make sense now?

Yeah, almost.

I just need to ask you one question.

Okay. One question. Ten points.

You think you can forgive me?

For all the mistakes,

all the wrong answers and stupid remarks?

Brian, you already know the answer.
